Saving emails from Outlook Express

[Tam]

I've just got a new PC but want to transfer old emails from the old PC. Is it possible to save them to a floppy??? I don't know where to find them on the disk.

Not really up on Outlook Express but can't you goto File then export an send your messages and contacts to a file which (Depending upon size) you can save to floppy?

You could try this OE mail backup application http://www.abf-soft.com/outlook-express-backup.sht
ml or search for *.dbx files and back these up (there will be an inbox.dbx, sent.dbx etc etc). You can export your mail to a .pst file but this can only be imported to Outlook (not Outlook Express). The .dbx search and .pst file export will not remember your OE configuration whereas the ABF does it all.

How many emails do you want to save?
All I did was click on an email in say, inbox, press CTRL and A to highlight them all in that folder, then you can drag them onto your desktop or into a folder then save them to a disk.
When you get your new Outlook Express, you can then just drag them into the new folders. That's what I did :o)
